Either that, or its been stood for a very very long time doing nothing. Or worse, both (stood for ages, then a long trip, then left to do nothing for a long time - repeat)

    Its a 1.2 ohc 8v engine.

    Hardly a b18c or anything complex

    Itll be fine

    Mine has done 11.3 miles a week

    However, I see the point about the cold oil, but, if its only been driven from 1000-2000rpm (granny shiftinn) then it will be fine

    I would expect a LET, F28, LSD, 4 pots and mint bodywork for 6k

    Its a mental price, does that make my 10k nova worth twice the price?
